The patterns for this set of carvings appear in Buie’s book, “The Big Book of Woodcarving Patterns.” This 246 page volume, in three ring binder form, was copyrighted and privately published in 1997. It received national attention when it appeared in the “Chip Chats” magazine of the National Woodcarvers Association. Recently this book was placed on a CD by Buie and is available at a very reasonable price. Buie’s patterns are first created in clay. Pen and ink sketches are made from the clay model. The sketches become the woodcarving patterns.

Woodcarving Sets
	NATIVITY SET After many years this 15 piece set is still in demand due to Buie’s unique style and quality of workmanship. His choice of doing a Nativity set was inspired by a desire to create a theme that would have a lasting value and appeal to people from all walks of life. View the set
	NOAH’S ARK SET The Noah’s Ark Set was introduced in 1998. It contains thirty-nine carvings plus the Ark and has been widely accepted and continues to gain popularity. The Ark is also a chest for storing all the pieces. All of Buie’s carvings are hand-painted, using a mixture of tube watercolors and water based varnish. View the set
	WORSHIP SERVICE SET View the set This set includes 27 carved pieces plus  2 platforms and the chapel that houses the figures.  The set grew out of carvings made for the children's church of the Lone Pine Baptist Church of Canton, MS.  The characters grew out of suggestions by the congregation.
	GAZEBO BAND SET Gazebo Band is a set of five carved pieces in basswood:  band director, trombonist, bells player, drummer, trumpet player, all dressed in 19th century costumes.  A gazebo is also included. View the set
